Problem Short description Description Steps to reproduce Forms and Fields PRB1188317 KB0657385 Multiline text fields do not automatically expand if ACLs prevent the current user from writing to the field Multiline read-only text fields do not automatically expand. This makes the field to appear in only 3 lines, and users have to scroll down/up to read the content. Log in as an administrator. Add the Description field on an Incident form. Open a closed incident record. Fill with a long text in the Description field. Impersonate its "Assigned to" user. Open that incident. Only three lines are displayed in the description, and users have to scroll up/down to read that text. Service Catalog: Service Portal Widgets PRB700689 KB0622371 Mandatory label variables do not have asterisks and are not enforced When a label variable for a catalog item is set to mandatory by either a catalog client script or a catalog UI policy, it is neither displayed as mandatory (denoted by an asterisk) nor enforced in Service Portal. However, mandatory labels work in the backend catalog item view because they are denoted with an asterisk and are enforced upon the catalog item form submission.For more information on the existing types of variables, see Types of variables. Refer to the listed Known Error KB article for details. Activity Stream PRB1160000 KB0656801 Activity stream logs for inbound emails show a blank 'From:' field on the email preview When an email is received from a registered user with an account in the sys_user table, the 'From:' field is empty.

Persistence PRB1271291 KB0685223 Documentation overrides do not persist In sys_documentation, users can override a parent tables' values for child tables. For example, users can set a different label for cmdb_ci_hardware.install_status than they have for cmdb.install_status. However, if users change any documentation values for any of the parent copies of the field, for example, by changing the label for cmdb.install_status, it overwrites any customizations users have made in the child tables. This problem also happens to customized documentation values during an upgrade. Navigate to sys_documentation for cmdb_ci_hardware.install_status. Change the label, for example, to Hardware Status. Navigate to the form for a hardware record and ensure that install_status is a displayed field. Verify that the field label displays Hardware Status. Navigate back to sys_documentation for cmdb.install_status and change the label to Install Status. Navigate back to the form for a hardware record. Verify that the Hardware Status label is lost, and is Install Status like all other CMDB classes.

Vulnerability Response release notes Create vulnerable items Business services impacted by this vulnerable item. Shown when this information is available in the cmdb record. This information can be entered manually or using the ServiceNow® Service Mapping application. See Service Mapping for more information. Vulnerability groups and group rulesYou can automate group assignment. See Create vulnerability group rules for details. Also, An example of Associated Vulnerable Group related list on a vulnerable item was uploaded in Create a vulnerability group. Vulnerability Response remediationVulnerability group rules can automate vulnerability group assignments. Due to the large volume in data imports, care should be taken with automated vulnerability group assignment. See Create vulnerability group rules for more information. Remediation target rules Remediation target rules define the expected timeframe for remediating a vulnerable item, much like SLAs provide a timeframe for remediating the vulnerability itself. For example, if an asset contains PCI data (credit card data) then the vulnerability on that item needs to be fixed within 30 days according to PCI DSS. See Create or edit remediation target rules for details. View the remediation target status of a vulnerable item When a vulnerable item has nearly reached (or passed) its remediation target date, as defined by a remediation target rule, the vulnerable item record is updated with a status. This information can help the analyst proactively monitor upcoming remediation activities. Create or edit remediation target notificationsYou can edit the remediation target notification or add new ones. You can specify when to send the notification, who receives the notification, and what content is in the notification. Using Vulnerability overview reports 'Vulnerable Items by Remediation Target Status' displays the number of Vulnerable Items that are Approaching Target, In-flight, and Past Target.

Persistence PRB1271291 KB0685223 Documentation overrides do not persist In sys_documentation, users can override a parent tables' values for child tables. For example, users can set a different label for cmdb_ci_hardware.install_status than they have for cmdb.install_status. However, if users change any documentation values for any of the parent copies of the field, for example, by changing the label for cmdb.install_status, it overwrites any customizations users have made in the child tables. This problem also happens to customized documentation values during an upgrade. Navigate to sys_documentation for cmdb_ci_hardware.install_status. Change the label, for example, to Hardware Status.

Vulnerability Response release notes Create vulnerable items Business services impacted by this vulnerable item. Shown when this information is available in the cmdb record. This information can be entered manually or using the ServiceNow® Service Mapping application. See Service Mapping for more information. Vulnerability groups and group rulesYou can automate group assignment. See Create vulnerability group rules for details. Also, An example of Associated Vulnerable Group related list on a vulnerable item was uploaded in Create a vulnerability group. Vulnerability Response remediationVulnerability group rules can automate vulnerability group assignments. Due to the large volume in data imports, care should be taken with automated vulnerability group assignment. See Create vulnerability group rules for more information. Remediation target rules Remediation target rules define the expected timeframe for remediating a vulnerable item, much like SLAs provide a timeframe for remediating the vulnerability itself. For example, if an asset contains PCI data (credit card data) then the vulnerability on that item needs to be fixed within 30 days according to PCI DSS. See Create or edit remediation target rules for details. View the remediation target status of a vulnerable item When a vulnerable item has nearly reached (or passed) its remediation target date, as defined by a remediation target rule, the vulnerable item record is updated with a status. This information can help the analyst proactively monitor upcoming remediation activities. Create or edit remediation target notificationsYou can edit the remediation target notification or add new ones. You can specify when to send the notification, who receives the notification, and what content is in the notification. Using Vulnerability overview reports 'Vulnerable Items by Remediation Target Status' displays the number of Vulnerable Items that are Approaching Target, In-flight, and Past Target.
